Silverfaun, I intentionally added the article from the UK ...to highlight how some Australians are being seen overseas ie;like whingers

who cares??? 

I do not give a toss about what anyone OS thinks of us... 

just like they don't' give a toss about what I think about their politics.

Exactly, the real reason for these long scrollers that have nothing to do with the subject is to hijack a thread or to push another agenda.

I couldn't give a rats what or how we are percieved in the UK & as for being seen as whingers, laughable, nothing to do with the massive failures, manipulations of legislation & I suppose the left in the UK would love the re regulation of everything here & the union puppeteers who hold the strings of Ms Gillard.

Iza's post is relevant considering its the truth. whinge and whine is exactly what the conservatives here and elsewhere have done from the outset.

claiming that isn't correct is laughable, its the basis for the entire coalition strategy. the fact that it works does not make it a platform one can respect ..

I see people often claim that we are the laughing stock overseas.

It seems that it's ok to use OS if you wish to attack the Gov but not ok to use OS if you wish to demonstrate the fact that the only people laughing are those who think we're nuts for complaining about our government and country which are doing so well.

for one who claims to not care what the others think one has done a mighty lot of whinging about us being a laughing stock.

I wouldn't call pointing out the failures of your beloved labor party whinging, just facts, but you never let facts get in the way of a snipe do you?

What's the matter?? feeling not so gung ho about your beloved NBN now labor have failed in that endeavour also??
